Transferring vehicle ownership in Queensland is simple: both buyer and seller lodge the transfer with TMR within 14 days, or cop a late fee.
Do it online with your QLD licence/CRN, plate and VIN, sale price/date, and an odometer reading; or front up at a Customer Service Centre if you enjoy queues.
Sellers should have a current Safety Certificate for a registered vehicle and keep proof of sale; number plates generally stay on the car.
Buyers pay a small transfer fee plus vehicle duty (based on the car’s value and engine category) and nominate their CTP insurer—CTP is bundled with rego in QLD.
If there’s finance, clear it before money changes hands, and make sure details match the ID, or the system will throw a hissy fit.
That’s it: submit, pay, receive confirmation, and carry on like a responsible adult.
